This album has already leaked and many have already listened to it and it's available for streaming now!
anyway, a great album it is, I'm sure Nile fans won't get disappointed with it, and tthis album might attract new fans as well..

This album has already leaked and many have already listened to it and it's available for streaming now!

But then again, this stream is perfectly legal while the torrent leaks aren't. So this news report is meant for people who haven't heard the album yet, because they're honest and are planning to buy it, and for people who are against downloading and just don't do that, so they now have a chance too to hear the album in a legal way.

And in case you haven't noticed, we have never put a link to an illegal download in our news before. And we also delete post of and give warnings to people who post those links somewhere in the forum.

Also, those streams are a great oppurtunity for people to get a first opinion about the album and then later to buy the album when the streaming period is over. In that way you have already an idea what the album sounds like (and this, again, in a legal way) before it gets released, so you don't have to wait for reviews or friends who've bought the album too and lend it to you so you could check it out too.

@Thryce: of course yes, that streaming is legal whereas the 'leakage' in the P2P softwares may not be... but I just meant that the software (soulseeek, which I mentioned in other news) itself is legal...
and yes, its natural that sites like MS don't give place to illegal links... but looking at the no. of uploads and comments(of/about the album, in chatrooms as well), it was quite obvious that many had already obtained it.
